• My opponent has 14 in their pool and I have 0 in mine. I play Bait and Switch (CoTA 267). How many times will the effect on Bait and Switch resolve?
  Bait and Switch’s effect will resolve twice. When the effect resolves the first time it checks if your opponent has more Æmber than you and steals 1. It then checks to see if your opponent has more Æmber than you. Since your opponent still has more Æmber than you, the preceding effect repeats, after which the resolution of the “Play:” ability is complete.
